I WOULD like to reply to Ian Westoll, who responded to my letter about a suggestion that the area around Heathrow be turned into an industrial estate.

Mr Westoll's letter was headed 'Take your seats for a history lesson', because that's exactly what it was. I am not concerned about the past, that has gone and cannot be changed. I am concerned about the future, and the coming generations.

As for suggesting Blair was an asset. Blair led us into an illegal war based on lies. The last soldier to be killed in Iraq was a friend of my nephew, who was serving in Iraq with him and is still there.

And Brown an asset? He has borrowed billions of pounds and put this country into deep debt for at least three generations. Just think, my grandson of 11 months is in debt before he can even walk or talk.

Come the next general election, we will see how the majority of voters feel about them being an 'asset'.

Incidentally, I am not 'anti-Scottish'. I just say things I feel are right. It is called free speech, a bit like Jeremy Clarkson I suppose!
